The fourth quarter is very boring compared to the rest of the game and we easily hold on to win 48-34. After the game we go back and set up all of the tailgate food again and eat for about another hour and a half before we pack up and go home. The game was one of the best games I have gone to in a while and we played great. Gio Bernard had a career high of 262 rushing yards and a
I also liked knowing his background and childhood. It helped me to see why he was wired how he is. I have never really been a pro of the NFL. I may watch the super bowl but could care less who wins. Ever since Tim Tebow has began starting at Denver I get so caught up in the games.
We were the underdogs in this game. They were the best team in the county at the time, because they had a running back that nobody can hit, and they thought they could just run all over us. All that week during practice we were plotting to stop them. This game was an away game so after school that Wednesday we went to the locker room and I got prepared for the game, then we got all our stuff together and headed to the bus. On our way to the Henry County stadium, I was getting focused on the biggest game of my life.
Although I did learn a few things, coaching consist of daily time consumptions of just football. Working five days a week doesn’t sound so bad but you have to be prepared for the next week so you end up working on the weekend too. Being a high school coach allows you to spend time with the family. College coaching on the other hands requires a bit more time and traveling especially on the weekends so that would give you less family time. Most coaches don’t have a family because of the hassle, but being a coach is like having kids of your own.
Discourse Community Analysis Rough Draft Throughout my school years, I have been involved various communities, but none were as memorable and special as my high school football team. I could even argue It was more of a family than a community. Our community was made up of guys who all had the same goal and were determined to reach it at all costs; we wanted to win, period. When you have a community of brothers who all come together and fight alongside each other, down after down, it is something truly special. For us Texans, football is not a pass time it is a religion.
The athletes are lucky to make it through a year with out being hurt and having to miss one game, if not more. Just like any other job they sacrifice their time away form their families, but they spend more time away from their families due to the fact that they have morning and night workouts. On game day they spend there whole day at the sports arena getting ready for the game. They also take trips that they spend over night, sometimes more than that. In contrast, they are getting paid more to be away from their families than the normal business people do.
Emillia Wade Mr. Hudson Junior English 2 December 2012 “…..when he stepped on that football field tonight he wouldn’t feel like a football player at all but like someone much more powerful entering a glittering, barbaric arena” (pg.7). For students in the West Texas town of Odessa, the most worshipped are the gridiron starts of Friday night. They live their lives for the glory of representing the Permian Panthers at their stadium that seats nearly 20,000. They do it for themselves, they do it for their community, and the do it to carry on that tradition, however, varies from family to family. In a chapter he entitles “Dreaming of Heroes,” Bissinger describes two very different father and son relationships, in the book Friday Night Lights.
When I grow up I plan to give back to the community is several ways. The first is to demo the ahs locker room that has looked the same since the 80’s. Being a member of the football team and having to go to the locker room each day gave me great pride but it also made me feel as though nobody cared about us. The lockers were as old as coach and the floor was as old as dirt. Sometimes I felt as if the lockers had a mind of their own.
The bonds we create during the season last forever. Our friendships last a life time. We help each other and work hard, at the crack of dawn for 18 weeks just to put on a 10 minute show during half time at the Varsity Football team, but is not just about the show, its having the sense of you having a second family, a home away from home. Even though Marching band and music is my passion, I’m pursuing a future career in the medical
I am not much of a football fan myself, but my friend and his family are. When I go over to his house, most of what his parents talk about is football. I have watched a game with him and his parents, and when something goes wrong in the game, they get too angry and just completely over-react about it. Football is also very over-competetive. To the fans watching the game, it is always about winning and never losing.
